> And so that is first and foremost giving everybody the joys of creating music and this is a huge departure from how it is now. It’s not really enjoyable to make music now […] It takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you need to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of the time they spend making music. Hot take: he's not wrong, but his phrasing is weird. His quote was not about "musicians" but people with no musical background - he's not even assuming the hypothetical person can even play an instrument. And yeah, for a person with no musical background or knowledge, making a song from scratch would be pretty miserable. As a counterpoint though, the kinds of people who do want to make music generally have self-selected themselves into a group who have some abilities to do so. Counter-counterpoint: I literally just had a conversation with a friend (and amateur musician, mind you) and he said he just wished for a Metalcore version of a classic Christmas playlist. He's not going to go through all of the effort of making that by himself, just for himself to enjoy. Music is becoming extremely personalized, and even the concept of a band is dying. So this very well could be the future of music.
